Documents Chapter 3

The ancient empires were not isolated as they each influenced each other, as many empires often had wars, trade or immigration, which allowed the possibility of spreading stories, religion and history with one another. Now these documents go further in depth as they talk about Greek and Persia's history, being told by a wealthy greek male. Named Herodotus, he wrote down the history during that time period which eventually was set as the first proof of history to the western world. He records the Persians as such great people through their religion, teachings and how humane they are. For religion they do not worship in temples, or altars but in holy places on the land. Not worshiping specific Gods but for the natural occurrences on the earth such as wind, sunlight, and the ocean. When they do worship they sacrifice an animal which varies on the status but they do not sacrifice the animal for their selfish desires but for the king, the people, and the empire itself. Secondly, they do...

Chapter 3

Part 2 Civilizations will always evolve and wether it is good or bad really depends during that time period and what the civilizations were going through. Some societies evolved and it was for good wether it was in weapons, agriculture or even war. But there were some societies that devolved due to being conquered or being looked as weak compared to other big nations. Empires were very vast within the ancient times. Four empires rules from Asia to the mediterranean. All of these empires were great in power but all had down falls, each of these empires ruled at different times and even with each other. Now as these empires were developing or were at their peaks they all evolved or devolved in some way. Now lets focus in the mediterranean as two major empires were there, which were the Persians and greeks. As these two empires were established within the same region which caused major problems, one of which is 300 the movie of spartans versus Xerxes. Now some of that movie is fake...
2. Considering accessibility: Do you find the art of civilizations, such as that of the Indus valley, more accessible to modern people than artistic products of earlier eras? Is is possible to speak of artistic "progress" or "development" or shoulder we be content with simply noticing the differences? Yes I find tis art more accessible to modern people that artistic products of earlier eras for many reasons. One reason I say this is because you can see how homo sapiens evolved mentally from the beginning to now. Art and other artifacts were very simply made, with less detail and more mysteriously. Now I say that because as people evolved so did their brains and way of thinking. Now as they continued to evolve their arts and whatever crafts grew too. Now the art in the Indus Valley are less confusing to what the meaning was and it told a story no matter how big or small in value. It allowed scholars to get a glimpse into how their society ran. Now if you compare th...
First Civilizations are different compared to the early ancestor of the agricultural revolution due to many reasons. Instead of focused on food primarily, these civilizations also have incorporated economic function, skill, wealth, and status. These few reasons along with food caused major division within the people and community. Now with these civilizations there are leaders which could be a dictator, king or republic/democratic which can determine the outcome of that specific region's society and wether there was peace or war. The earliest civilizations, three during this time period were the city states of Sumer, Egypt, and the central coast of Peru. These three early civilizations weren't all similar, especially Peru due to the region they established upon. Which helped determine what trades and goods were being brought inside society. There were some similarities since some regions hosted more than one civilization as water was a primary source for life. As time went by m...

Chapter 1

This time era, in my opinion, is one of the hardest and easiest points of humanity to mess up. The reason behind this are many scholars in different fields aren't going off of writing like alphabets or sayings like stories but off of human remains and really accurate assumptions. Early life began in Africa and thrived for a amount of time, which it still does in some regions, but as time went on so did the first Homo Sapiens which migrated all across the world. The continents may have been in a different state but, each region held almost the same type of principles. "Gather-hunters" in each group of early humans took place, which many of the women did most of the work while men focused on meat and lard wild game. Many connections are made between the early humans and the modern humans of today. Most groups had jobs, a hierarchy, a market, relationships and many more. In different regions, and the group of early humans that settled there had to do many things to survive. ...
